DPS Seeking Family House Assault Suspect

CHAPEL HILL – UNC’s Department of Public Safety is searching for a man accused of sexually assaulting an individual at the SECU Family House on Old Mason Farm Road.

DPS sent out a message to campus through Alert Carolina on Saturday warning people of the incident that took place on Friday. According to DPS spokesperson, Randy Young, the victim was not a UNC student nor affiliated with the University. He said no other details were available at the time.

SECU Family House spokesperson, Janice McAdams, released a statement saying the incident involved a family and was not the result of a break-in. On Twitter, the SECU Family House said “it continues to be a safe place for our employees, guests, volunteers, and friends.”

DPS is searching for a man in his 30s, about 5’4” tall with dark hair and a buzz cut. When last seen, he was wearing khaki pants and a dark short-sleeve shirt. He has tattoos on his inner and outer left forearm and upper right arm, and he has a small scar on the left side of his chest.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the UNC Department of Public Safety at 919-843-6165 or Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515. Calls will remain anonymous and a cash reward could be available for anyone assisting in an arrest.

The SECU Family House provides a place to stay for families of patients who are being treated for critical illness or injury at UNC Hospitals.
